The legend returns!

Was super surprised to see this 7.5 yr old beast, aka"Big 6" on cam last night.  First time getting him since early July...

What a tank!!!!

Probably  better off passing that old grizzled piece of shoe leather. But if you want I could come up and remove him from the hurd free of charge.

Sheezus, his necks almost as big as his body.

Just keep shooting! One arrow ain’t making a dent in that thing!

What's going on with the top of his back, above his shoulders? Almost looks like he had a close call with death at some point.

Good eye! He actually did have a nasty looking, apparent gunshot wound there when he appeared after season back in 2014 as a 2.5 yr old. He was already shed out and looked in pretty rough shape but somehow pulled through. I'll post pics later...

He's tied for the oldest known buck that I've ever had on cam. I had another 7.5 year old buck last season at this same property but I believe he was killed by a neighbor on opening morning of gun season.

Yep, appears to be a gunshot if I guessed. Boy, another inch or two lower and he could have been in serious trouble!

WOW....

Do you have any pics of him from last year? I’d be curious if he has declined, or is this year his biggest?

He's always been a mainframe 6pt . I think he was his biggest at 5.5...them declined some last year. 

Here he is in 2018...

Really cool buck! Good luck with him. 

I shot a freak a few years back that was aged at 6.5. I never saw him before, but I would’ve guessed that he probably was in decline.
